According to Fox news
While the president insists on Twitter that ballots have not been properly considered and argues that President-elect Joe Biden’s victory is premature, Fox News has learned that under some conditions Trump would consider an appropriate transfer of power.
The Trump campaign has filed suits in several battleground states where Biden led by a razor-thin margin, including Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. It claimed instances of illegally counted votes from up after Election Day and that poll watchers were blocked from observing counting.
“The observers were not allowed into the counting rooms. I won the election, got 71,000 legal votes. Bad things happened which our observers were not allowed to see.” Trump wrote in a tweet Saturday evening. It now has a note from the platform that the claim about election fraud is disputed. “Never happened before. Millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them!”
“71,000,000 Legal Votes,” he added. The most EVER for a sitting President!”

But sources close to President Trump told FOX News he plans to graciously concede and commit to a peaceful transfer of power, if the campaign’s legal challenges fail to open up a path for a second term.
The latest tweets came moments after the commander-in chief returned to the White House stone-faced after golfing on Saturday. He walked past dozens of Biden supporters who gathered with signs that read “Good Riddance,” “You’re fired” and “Pack your s— and go.”
Earlier in the day, President Trump accused former vice president Joe Biden of “rushing to falsely pose as the winner” and issued a statement vowing the campaign will “start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.”
“The American people are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots,” Trump said.
“It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters,” Trump continued. “Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.”
The Fox News Decision Desk called the race for Biden after results in Pennsylvania and Nevada put him above the 270 electoral vote threshold necessary to clinch victory in the Electoral College.
Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have attempted to calm the public, insisting that all votes will be counted no matter how long it takes.
“It’s time for America to unite. And to heal,” Biden said in a statement after his win was declared.
